Did you angle the holes upward into into the mail channel, or were they drilled straight in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is once the bee gets in, it only sees light at the bottom and goes there thinking its the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
